Huntingdon packs a lot into a small radius: Hinchingbrooke Hospital, four retail centres, six event spaces and a string of business parks. Each brings its own security needs, and we tailor guarding and patrols to them.
Trusted Protection in Huntingdon
Within 5km of Huntingdon sit Hinchingbrooke Hospital and Linnea Cromwell Hospital, the Assembly Rooms, Commemoration Hall and a Cineworld, and shopping at The Bridge Centre, King James Retail Centre, Huntingdon Retail Park and Stukeley Park. Business land runs from Stukeley Meadows Industrial Estate to Hinchingbrooke and Ermine business parks. That variety means security in Huntingdon ranges from reception officers to event stewards to night patrols.
Huntingdon Business Profile
Five security workers from our network give an address within 10 miles of Huntingdon, and for larger contracts we bring in colleagues from the surrounding area. Whoever attends holds an SIA licence, has been vetted to BS 7858 and is paid via PAYE. Shifts begin and end with a GPS book-on, and patrol findings are sent as a digital report from our 24/7 control room.
Huntingdonshire's 7,820 businesses lean towards construction, 1,225 firms, and professional services, 1,200. Manufacturing at 6.1% and the motor trade at 4.0% both beat the national average. Production units on the business parks need access control and alarm response, car dealers need forecourt cameras, and the 11 mapped building projects need patrols out of hours.
The Assembly Rooms, the Performing Arts Centre and Judith's Field Hall are among Huntingdon's venues. Martyn's Law will affect any of them with capacity for 200 or more once it comes into force, and our event security team can help plan for it. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
